my hero and role-model did not win album of the year.
perhaps this means I need to step up my whoring-around for gender equality campaign.
but really, why are girls sluts for doing things that are normal for guys? so dumb.
also, I keep forgetting to pick up the three rolls of film I got developed. WHOOPS. I will pick them up tomorrow, I suppose. I hope my pictures came out well.
if they did, I will post them and write poems and stories and ballads and interoffice memos based off of them. I will get reeeeeal fucking artsy. and you will like it.
or, you'll be like, "look at that fucking hipster." and I'll be like, "NO. that's rachel. I just wanna be worthwhile and perhaps a little bit grunge, if I have to label myself for you. didn't you love the 90s as much as I did? I realize I was only a child back then, but I knew what was good. also, I really liked hootie and the blowfish in preschool." and you will say, "that's nice, but they weren't a grunge band." and I will retort, "well obviously, good sir. but clearly if hootie and the blowfish was my favorite band at age four and I distinctly remember rocking out to them after snack time, I remember other important stuff from the 90s. like how the grunge kids dressed and their cool music. and as a preschooler, I wanted to be like them except, seeing as I was four, I did not know how to go about doing so. but now I do know. plus, I also remember loving it when my brothers listened to the smashing pumpkins. and I sometimes like to wear boots with dresses and not bathe. it works."
"although, I would rather just be worthwhile and not have a clear-cut label. however, 'occasionally a little bit grunge' has asymmetrical-fuzzy edges and therefore is fine." then, you will accept defeat and back away.
or perhaps fear and confusion are why you leave.
whatever. I still win.
I need to bathe. I think my hair is a fire hazard.

Labels dreidel’s cradles
ReplyDeleteThe 90's, grunge and the smashing pumpkins is all music to my ears, it’s crazy id almost forgotten about my fascination with nirvana until a couple of months ago when a mates sister leant me a book on Kurt Cobain, for myself musically the 90’s was nirvana.
Labels are a bit funny - I’m all for tearing down the labels, I remember reading in a book the funny bones some quote about if you get giving lined paper than write the other way.
I’ve been labelled a few times in my life, sometimes I like it sometimes I don’t.
what’s strange is how many times a friend I’ve known for a long time will recommend something for me to watch
“You’ll love it” they’ll say or something to that effect,
and after I’ve watched what they recommended ill be sat there thinking, why on earth did they think I’d like that,
How long have they known me and how little do they know me,
Usually its people who I’ve known for the shortest time who blatantly haven’t had a chance yet to create a label for me that recommend the stuff I will like.
For a time I revelled in my label before I decided that I hated labels so I ripped off my label and chucked it on the fire.
My attitude is that either you love your labels or you don’t in which case turn them into smoke.
Here’s hoping your pictures come out looking sweet poems stories ballads and interoffice memos is the good shit.
When family members ask me to describe my friends, I say Jess is the mom, Emma's the hippie, and Shannon's the 90s kid.
ReplyDeleteWe're eclectic. I dig. I dig hardcore.
Lady GaGa can STILL!! be your role model! In fact, I think her not winning the mega-uber-super-hella-huge award is a sign of her street cred. The Grammy's are notorious for babying the label's darling artists for the top awards, and everyone must have felt bad for Beyonce after the whole Kanye thing.
Fuckin' skank.
Anyway, I vote we still wear glitter and neon tube tops. And pleather. And lace. And boots.
Forever.
ps: I'm stoked for your interoffice memos.
I used to get hippie all the time which a lot of the time I loved, but sometimes I’d be like hey I’m not a hippie I haven’t got a farm.
ReplyDeleteI get hipster (like Shannon said), but I don't really see it.
ReplyDeleteOh well, labels are for soup cans.
haha labels are for soup cans
ReplyDeletewham bam...
